Elisabeth Faust, LCSW — Therapist in Mississippi

Hi there, I'm Elisabeth!

I work with clients seeking support and stability in their lives. Together, we'll identify the areas you want to address, and I'll walk alongside you in the process. My focus is helping you feel better about yourself and your environment as we build a professional relationship where we both grow.

My focus

I work with women and men facing a range of challenges, from chronic instability to anxiety and thought disorders. Whether you're confrontational, passive, or somewhere in between, I'm here to help. Life is difficult at best, and we all need support navigating its complexities.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Supportive Counseling. These approaches help us work through challenges at a pace that feels right for you. We'll start slow as we get to know one another, building the foundation for meaningful change.

My communication style

I'm soft-spoken and attentive to both what you say and how you communicate physically. I want you to feel relaxed as we build a trusting relationship. I'm laid back and create a calming environment where you can be yourself. Without that bond, I can't truly help you on your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always enjoyed helping others with their problems. After working in a different field, I pursued social work and discovered my true calling. I love being a therapist and helping others, which is why I continue doing this work.

My goals for you

We'll start by identifying the problems you feel need attention, then triage them together. You'll communicate which goal you want to address first. I may see other areas that need work, but you'll guide our priorities as we move forward.

Our first session

I'll introduce myself and my experience, then we'll gather information about what brings you to therapy. We'll also begin therapeutic work during this first session, as discussing past events or recent trauma is difficult. This sets the foundation for our future sessions together.
